A Super Highway In My Front Yard

I have a superhighway in my front yard. 
It appeared in the night. 
As if by magic. 
Ants are traveling along it 
Whistling a tune I think it is a Maroon 5 song 
But I am not sure 
Some say I should get rid of it. 
I am fascinated by it a superhighways 
Begun with one giant wad 
Of pink gum.
Ant traveled

Thank you M.L. I kind of boxed myself into a corner and had to march my way out Two by Two.

Yes! What a great way to see them. Ants so plentiful here. They are clever Panagiota

Ants so rapidly find things like a wad of gum, parading toward it in such a stream! Surrounding it, making it black quickly.

As long as they stay OUTSIDE, ant are fascinating! ;) (Still shuddering a little, thinking of my weeks-long home invasion...)

I shudder thinking rather of my 'Asian beetle' invasion where I was scraping tens of thousands of them off a bedroom ceiling, and they crawled the walls faster than I could scrape them up.

Hilarious! It is strange to me that our ideas are similar on the same day, my friend.
